Adding Metadata for a Dataset
When adding a new Dataset, there will be some required metadata (Information about the Dataset to be published) that will need to be added in a form before the dataset can be published. Some of the required Metadata will be pre-populated based on your account/login information. The remaining required metadata will be marked with asterisks.
...
| Warning |
|---|
We require a readme.txt file for your dataset. There are no exceptions. You must include this in your uploaded files or we will reject your submission. We have a template available on the Libraries website. |
...
Adding Files
Once the metadata is added and you are ready to upload your data files that you would like to be published, you may drag and drop them OR click the “Select Files to Add” button.
...
Once you are ready, click the “Save Dataset” button.

| Note |

If you have a dataset larger than 5GB, you will need to use the DVWebLoader option. To load files this way, add your readme.txt now, but skip adding your data files in this step, then simply click the “Save Dataset” button for now (you will add your data files later). |
Once you click “Save Dataset” you will see a draft of your submission as follows.
